Co-Founders Michael Ruiz-Unger & Tucker Tota have put together a comic book contest in the vein of a movie contest. That's the best way to look at this competition because frankly, there's not many, if any, others out there like this. We're a sponsor in that I'll be reviewing the winners of the contest. To be clear, I'm not judging the contest. No, that's an impressive list starting with Jason Aaron and ending with Max Sarin. You can read the full list and get all of the details by visiting GhostCityComics.com and let me tell you, you should do that. If you have an entry then get it ready for submission on the 20th of this month.

Frankly, at first, I was confused by what I would even contribute to this contest. To be honest I have no clue how this site is perceived outside of my own little bubble on the internet and I'm fine with that. After seeing the complete list of prizes I totally get it. It's a huge premiere party for your comic. With prizes, feedback, reviews and interviews with the real chance of a publisher picking up the book. There's where the film comparison comes in, but the big difference is that your comic has a way better chance of succeeding than a festival or contest winning film. Keep that in mind and really give it you're all on this because I think it has legs, otherwise, I wouldn't sponsor it with our name and my time.

Below you'll find the winners information and you can than Ruiz-Unger and Tota for having this all put together and locked down. Good on them. Again, head over to GhostCityComics.com to check out all the submission details and be ready on the 20th!
